After decades of often disputed validity, the effectiveness of Reiki, a holistic energy treatment is gaining new respect within the medical community.

The results of these Reiki research studies are nothing short of remarkable.
Wassail – A Traditional Holiday Spice Cider Drink
One of my favorite drinks for the holidays is wassail. Every time I serve this, it is always a hit. People ask me to bring this all the time during the holidays. It is a spicy hot apple cider drink. There are many beneficial properties as well. My wife says “it scares away the flu”. I am not sure I can guarantee that but the drink is flavorful and tasty. I have included the history of wassail and my recipe as well.
The history of the drink hails back to England. The following comes from Wikipedia:
In the cider-producing counties in the South West of England (primarily Devon, Somerset, Dorset, Gloucestershire and Herefordshire) or South East England (Kent, Sussex and Essex) wassailing refers to a traditional ceremony that involves singing and drinking the health of trees in the hopes that they might better thrive.

Perry Harward - A massage therapist that helps people change their body to move with less pain and more flexibility.
I start each morning with a positive attitude. I look forward to my day and find inspiration wherever I look. I want to share with you a small tidbit of information . It is a great secret on how to keep a positive attitude and outlook on life every day, every hour and every minute.
I learned this the hard way because I was getting into an awful funk. Things were just not going the way I planned or fast enough for me. I am a talented massage therapist and should have every hour filled with wonderful work that I can do for people. This affected my attitude and my outlook. It is not the way I wanted to be.
I started to look for ways to keep a positive attitude. It is difficult to help people find solutions and make a difference in their lives if you are stressed out and have a sour disposition.
The key to a positive attitude is being thankful and grateful for what I have and will have. I invest my emotional energy into believing what I want to be true as if were true. I keep working on this until I can feel it.
I began my journey in the beauty industry over 4 years ago and every moment has been an adventure. I’ve been waxing for over 10 years and it is absolutely my favorite service to offer, especially bikinis and Brazilians. You will find my services to be “results oriented” as well as super efficient. I cherish my clients and find that they quickly become my friends as well. Your satisfaction is my top priority.
